[Intro]
Oh, it's been a long, long afternoon
Burdened by the past, trapped in the gloom
Ghosts whispering memories, echoing cries
I’m breaking the silence, I’m ready to rise
[Verse 1]
Tears like raindrops fall, washing away
The scars of a life where love lost its way
The cargo bay’s empty, just remnants of pain
Distant reminders that still feel like chains
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear you screaming, your demands like a knife
But I will not carry these shadows for life
With every torn piece, I’m reclaiming my name
I’m done with your fury, I’m moving through flame
[Chorus]
I’m not your punching bag, I’m breaking the mold
Fighting the fear, stepping out of the cold
With every load tossed, I feel my heart soar
I’m freed from the chains, I'm ready for more
[Verse 2]
Old clothes in the dumpster, like ghosts in the night
Haunting my steps, but I'm finding my light
Memories rushing, like waves in the storm
But I’m ripping the past, I’m starting to form
[Pre-Chorus]
You thought I was weak, that I’d always obey
But I found my strength in the ashes today
With every piece torn, I’m shedding your power
I’m planting my roots, I’m blossoming flower
[Chorus]
I’m not your punching bag, I’m breaking the mold
Fighting the fear, stepping out of the cold
With every load tossed, I feel my heart soar
I’m freed from the chains, I'm ready for more
[Bridge]
Angels surround me, they whisper, "Believe"
In the chaos I’m rising, no longer deceived
With courage I’m armed, my spirit ablaze 5
The echoes behind me no longer amaze
[Chorus]
I’m not your punching bag, I’m breaking the mold
Fighting the fear, stepping out of the cold
With every load tossed, I feel my heart soar
I’m freed from the chains, I'm ready for more
[Outro]
So here I stand strong, no longer a pawn
With courage and grace, I’m moving beyond
It’s been a long afternoon, but I see the dawn
My heart’s now a warrior, forever reborn.
